Li Guolou and Yao Cuo took the first step and wanted to go to Qiankun Tower, where Wang Xiaocui would wait for them with hundreds of militia groups.

Qiankun Building is located in Dongchang Hutong, seeing this name, Li Guolou showed a smile, it turns out that everything has a providence. What he did was the path taken by the ancients, and the Dongchang organization in the Ming Dynasty was not the ancestor of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. The national triad is exactly the goal he pursues, and he has the same goal, and more than a hundred years later, he has also done this kind of thing.

Li Guolou took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yao Cuo glanced at it with red eyes and said, "Little Lizi, your pocket watch is good, when will we change it." ”

Li Guolou was dissatisfied: "Captain Yao, don't ask for it, if you have a silver ticket in your pocket, go buy a new one yourself." ”

Yao Cuo sighed: "It's too expensive in foreign companies, it's not worth the price." ”

Li Guolou admonished: "Captain Yao, this is an antique. Got it? Give me fifty taels of silver tickets, and I'll buy you a gold one, guaranteed to be worth the money. ”

Yao Cuo gritted his teeth, took out fifty taels of silver tickets, and said, "Little Lizi, don't say that I bought it myself, and say that I gave it to Sister-in-law Gu by you." ”

Li Guolou still stretched out his hand and said: "Captain Yao, don't be stingy, now there are also women's ones, buy a pair to have no trouble, hurry up and get another fifty taels of silver tickets." ”

Yao Cuo reluctantly dug into his pocket again and sighed: "Now that I have finally tasted the taste of a rich man, the money is still not enough to spend." ”

Li Guolou said: "Captain Yao, don't worry about money, the family and everything is prosperous, Xiaocui's affairs are wrapped up in me, but marrying a person who is out of the way is not good." ”

Yao Cuo didn't cut it and said: "I want to marry Xiaocui now, it's too cheap, it's no longer in my consideration, I want to go to Huamanlou to find a good one in the future, and the ingots are worthy of my love for a lifetime." ”

Li Guolou shook his head and was silent, as soon as a person has money, his vision is high. He also felt that a person like Xiaocui was not worthy of Yao Cuo, and the eldest brother Yao Cuo was so majestic that he should be accompanied by a beautiful woman.

Li Guolou saw that Qiankun Building was close in front of him, and said hurriedly: "Captain Yao is not allowed to call me Xiao Lizi when he goes in, but he must call him Deputy Li, so that people can respect me." ”

Yao Cuo was dissatisfied: "Fake foreign devils are full of tricks, the team is called a team vice-president, and now so many new terms have ruined our national quintessence, and I don't know what the strange words that come out of your mouth." ”

Li Guolou replied: "That's when I said hello to the foreign devils, the Qing Empire welcomes you." I am here to win glory for the country, and let the foreign devils know that there are also university questions about catching fast. ”

Yao said wrongly: "I won't chew my tongue with you anymore, go in and be honest with me." If I say the wrong thing, kick me and don't interrupt me. ”

Li Guolou and Yao Cuo took off their big hats and walked into Qiankun Building with a smile, this is a guild hall, there are restaurants, teahouses, and theaters, except for the restaurant business, the other businesses are not good, and they are about to be unable to do it.

Li Guolou took a look at the architectural format inside, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, it was really a building left over from the East Factory, and the crooked pattern couldn't do any business, so it was better to return to the bank and be an office space to play an effective role.

After visiting the entire Qiankun Building, Yao Cuo asked, "Deputy Li, how about it here?" ”

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Captain Yao can be, but there are some taboos, listen to what Master Bao said, the ending of the sticky pole can only be dissolved, the east factory is too stinky." ”

Yao Cuo suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Oh! I didn't think of it, no wonder no yamen wanted this land, when I didn't say it. ”

Li Guolou said: "Don't worry, Captain Yao, listen to what Master Bao says, if Lord Bao wants to change the status quo, maybe there will be the evil spirit of the East Factory." ”

Yao Cuo nodded silently, this is the field of Lord Bao, and they are the pioneers, the third-grade officials in the capital are not as good as the sixth- and seventh-grade Futai and prefects in the local area. This is the foot of the imperial city, if you want to have income, you must have new ideas and open up financial roads. In the past, when the treasury had money, it could apply for expenses to repair the yamen and get various subsidies, but now it can't even get all the money. Master Bao has put a lot of effort into the militia group, saying that he will come to meet these white people in the evening. So Yao Cuo didn't dare to be a little sloppy, so he came here to check it out first.

The teahouse and theater here were all wrapped up by Yao, and Wang Wu was already sitting in the teahouse with some of the people who came first.

Li Guolou and Yao Cuo stood on the second floor of the cloister, and saw those martial artists, dressed in simple blue cloth clothes, with a headscarf on their heads, Li Guolou was taken aback and walked into the teahouse quickly.

Li Guolou looked at Wang Wu and said hurriedly: "What did Wang Wu do, hurry up and throw away the headscarf, no one is allowed to wear a headscarf in the future, what do you understand?" ”

Wang Wu smiled bitterly: "Fake foreign devils, they haven't shaved their sloppy hair, so I bought a headscarf for them to wrap up." ”

Li Guolou shouted angrily: "Wang Wu remember! In the future, call me Team Vice Lee. It doesn't matter if your hair is not shaved cleanly, keep it simple. Now it looks like a twisted army. A sucker! ”

Wang Wuwu was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted and asked those martial artists to take off their headscarves. Li Guolou shook his head and looked at those martial artists, most of the people in them, he knew them. There are more than 20 Wang Wu's brothers Wu Jinshui, Yuan Yongbing, and Zhang Chengsi.

Seeing that Wang Wu almost pulled all the people from the Beihai Martial Arts Hall into the militia group, Li Guolou was very pleased, Wang Wu was still quite popular, he could be a person, and let others know Wang Wu's ability, sometimes his own brothers would tear down the corners, but outsiders who didn't understand him were so confused. With this, Wang Wu can become the captain of the militia group.

Rich people are popular, and being a big brother is even more important to contribute money and efforts, Wang Wu brought in the Yan brothers who sold the flyover, I don't know how much it cost? Li Guolou saw several heroes of Bao Zhilin, Zhang Tieniu, Rong Yuan, and Sun Yue.

Li Guolou asked strangely: "Why didn't the vulture Chen Shuang come?" ”

Zhang Tieniu sighed: "His wife is sick and is watching Langzhong." ”

Li Guolou glanced at the faces of several people suspiciously, as if he was telling a lie.

Wang Wu kicked Li Guolou and said in a low voice: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone has a wife." ”

Li Guolou was a little annoyed and said, "For this kind of person who is not on the Tao, don't let him in again in the future." I can say out loud here that your income is a little lower at the beginning, but at most for a year, and you can all live a good life in the future. ”

Yao Cuo had already walked into the teahouse and said in a loud voice: "Deputy Team Li, why did you tell me my opening remarks." ”

Everyone stood up in the midst of laughter, Yao Cuo smiled and clenched his fists and dozens of cloth clothes, these people were rough men, most of them had never dealt with officials, and their movements were cramped and uneasy. A pimple salute made Yao Cuo laugh.

These people, like Li Guolou and Yao Cuo, came early, and they were also overly excited, and the real gathering time was still more than an hour. Yao Cuo didn't want to say much about the scene, so he began to drink tea and chat, caring about the lives of the poor people.

Those who practice martial arts have a lot of strength, but they are never willing to do the hard work of selling coolies, and they are mainly taking care of the family and nursing homes, doing errands with no future. Therefore, when they heard that the Beijing division was going to set up a militia group, most of them were willing to work at a low salary. There are also people who don't care about money and just want to have a chance to get ahead.

Wang Wu sat next to Yao Cuo, introducing the origins of the people on the roster, a roster is very long, and there are notes, everyone has a resume and is good at. In more than a day, Wang Wu was able to get it neat and tidy, and he couldn't help but nod his beard with satisfaction.

Li Guolou didn't expect that Wang Wu still had this hand, he was a person who did great things, and he had a good start, and he would be happy to let Master Bao, who likes to read written articles, see it later.

Wang Wuzheng said: "Don't worry, Captain Yao, there is no oil, and there are no gang members, you can afford to endure hardships, pull out of the city to experience, and ensure that there are no deserters." Whoever dares to run away will be the first to drown him. ”

Yao Cuo looked at the roster of paintings, and pointed out his names at the same time, he had a good memory, and the names of the people who greeted him just now were found out from the roster one by one. It also made Li Guolou admire, it turned out that the person who was the chief was still a little talented.

Yao Cuo looked at the roster carefully, and then said: "Wang Wu, there are still not enough people, let's recruit two hundred people in the first batch." Now we are recruiting people in the name of the militia group you organized, and when the conditions are good in the future, we will recruit people ourselves. People have become the key now, everything else is going very well, you have to behave well, and when Lord Bao comes, you have to let Lord Bao see your love for the monarch, the blood you can pay for the motherland, and the spirit of daring to fight. It doesn't matter if the sound is a little louder, Lord Bao won't mind. ”

Wang Wu nodded and remembered, looking at Yao Cuo with admiration, the person in front of him will be his eldest brother in the future, there is really a feeling of seeing each other late, Yao Cuo is still a very high-level person.

Yao Cuo lowered his voice again and said, "Wang Wu, there will be many people in the yamen who will stuff people here in the future, and I can't refuse." On the surface, they will call you to your face, and you will be greatly promoted and appointed. But you have to know in your heart what you can't let these people get involved in, and standing guard is suitable for those who are stuffed in. ”

Wang Wu glanced at Li Guolou, everyone knew in their hearts that with fatty meat, some people wanted to eat it, and some people had a status several levels higher than Yao Cuo, and Yao Cuo was not easy to refuse. So everyone has the same heart, they all do a good job of the leader first, and there will always be rotten people staying in it.

People kept stepping into the teahouse, looking at the growing team, Wang Wu couldn't bear it, many people were not on the list, they were all pulled by his subordinates.

Li Guolou and Yao Cuo hurriedly found the boss of Qiankun Building, added tables and chairs, and counted the number of people who had already exceeded two hundred.

Li Guolou said suspiciously: "Captain Yao, I think a lot of them are here to eat white food, I really don't know how Wang Wu works, invite newcomers to get together, and so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out." ”

Yao Cuo sighed: "Deputy Li, now you know the difficulty of doing things." As soon as I saw the good side, bad things came one after another, and I couldn't prevent it. Calling the brother-in-law to brush up, this kind of people who take advantage of the sea of people. There are a few old faces that I've seen at dinner. Full of people! ”

Li Guolou smiled bitterly, more than half of the people on the scene were people who had nothing to do with the militia group, it seems that Yao Cuo has a long way to go, and he has to clean up these unruly militia members.
